SP & Company, Outlaws and JUGS = Busy Day

Today is my Fancy Post over at the SP & Company blog.  I also combined this project with the Outlaws PAM challenge - "happy" on your card.

I used an embossed resist technique with white embossing powder, and using a sponge dauber, sponged on the green, blue and orange.  Then, I stamped the black circles.  I love making bookmarks to mail with birthday cards.  Just a small little gift for the recipient.

Do you need a "happy" card -- make one and come on over to the Outlaws Paper ala Mode and upload your card or project.

On another challenge, it is my challenge over at Just Us Girls - a color challenge of; Lime Green, Hot Pink and Orange.  Good grief, I don't know what it is about me and the BRIGHT colors lately, but I am totally loving these hot colors!

I saw the tying on Pinterest - is that cool or what!  Fun times making this CAS card.  My sentiment is from Hero Arts Thank You for Being my Friend.  Like the colors?  I would LOVE for you to play in my challenge!  Hope to see you there.

Outlawz Saturday Paper ala Mode Challenge

Hi everyone!  Today's challenge over at the Outlawz Paper ala Mode is to use an inspirational quote.

I used my favorite quote from Gina K Designs Timeless Treasures.  I also tried a new technique from Tim Holtz's A Compendium of Curiosities book; Alcohol Ink Splatter.  Gosh it reminded me of being a kid in art class.  Drop spots of alcohol ink and blow with a straw!  Be a kid again, and try it!  So much fun!  A perfect background for this quote - happy and bright! :)  Because I had so much fun, I made a second card!

Do you have a quote you love?  Come on over to Outlawz Paper ala Mode challenge, and play along.

Just Us Girls & Outlawz Paper ala Mode

[For Wendy's Birthday Hop go down one post]

This week JUGS is a 3D - cards and card holder and over at Outlaws its a BIG bow, the bigger the better.  Well, that was easy enough to combine.

My card holder is a recycled acrylic holder from a frame I bought. [I always keep those boxes]  Perfect for these notecards. [Flourish is from PTI; Fancy Flourish.]

Here is my big bow.  Just a great little Hostess gift.

Sound like fun?  Come on over to Just Us Girls with your box and cards, be sure and make a big bow and then pop on over to the Outlaws Paper ala Mode and join in that challenge too!  A twofer day~ :)

SP & Company March Release

This month's color is Green in honor of St. Patrick's Day! After you're done hopping around today, make sure you play along with this month's Green challenge (click here for details) for a chance to win some awesome SP and Company prizes!

Join us for our Release Celebration that is happening today and tomorrow on the SP Forum HERE.  You can talk to all of the designers, discuss projects and chit chat with other stampers!

My card is also my sample for the JUGS 127 challenge - faux embossing with die cuts.

This is a new technique for me.  I used the svg's cuts and stamped with the clovers from the SP & Company Lucky Mini stamp set, and used the March release SP & Company stamp set Mustache Madness for the focal image and sentiment.  The polka dot paper is from MME Dolled Up.

Make sure you check out the SP Blog to see what Samantha did with the new stamps! We also have the Stamp Team and the Challenge Team teaming up today to show you lots of amazing projects with the newest stamp sets!

JUGS 126 & OutLawz Paper Ala Mode

This week over at Just Us Girls, the challenge is a sketch, and over at The Outlawz the challenge is paper piecing.  I was able to combine these two challenges -[I always start with a sketch],so it worked out perfect!

I used the fun set Let's Get Together from There She Goes.  This cup is the perfect item to paper piece!  I love it!  My embossing is made with my new Lifestyle Crafts, Whimsey. I adore this pattern.  These folders are decently priced too!

So, come on over to Just Us Girls and Outlawz - combine a card like I did! :)  Just play and have fun.
